The present invention pertains to the field of art involving installation assemblies for light sources that may be employed in illumination systems such as video-equipped endoscopes or borescopes.
In typical video-equipped endoscope and borescope systems, a high voltage white light source is required to illuminate a target in the object plane of the viewing optics. Generally, the white light generated from the light source is optically coupled to a viewing probe which is configured to transmit the light into a target area. The incident light reflected from the target is received by a viewing head of the probe which causes an image to be focused upon an imaging device within the probe. The imaging device receives the image and converts it into electrical signals to be processed. A more detailed description of such a system is provided in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,532,918 to Wheeler and 4,539,586 to Danna et al.
The light source employed in typical video-equipped endoscope and borescope systems may be a conventional gas-filled flash lamp which is sometimes referred to as an arc discharge lamp. As is well known in the arts, the flash lamp includes a Quartz envelope that is filled with an inert gas such as xenon. When the lamp is triggered, it produces a high intensity flash of white light to ensure that the image received by the viewing probe accurately reflects the true target colors.
As a consequence of the high intensity operation of this type of lamp, a substantial amount of heat is generated. Proper operation of such lamp requires the use of heat sinks to dispose of the heat energy. In many cases, the heat sinks provide structural support for the lamp itself. The heat sinks may also provide an additional function, in that if properly arranged, they act as electrical conductors for connecting lamp electrodes to a power supply. In such an assembly, the electrical power supply leads are connected to the heat sinks to complete the power supply circuit of the lamp.
In most applications, and in particular, applications directed to video-equipped endoscope and borescope instruments, the lifetime of the lamp is substantially shorter in comparison to the lifetime of the instrument. Therefore, the lamp installation should be designed so that it can be easily replaced without having to dismantle a major portion of the instrument.
Typical lamp installations provide access to the lamp assembly, which may include the lamp itself, and the heat sinks surrounding the lamp. However, the assembly is ordinarily fastened to a support frame by screws or other fasteners. In addition, the electrical leads from the lamp power supply are fastened to the lamp or heat sink electrodes by screws. Such an arrangement frequently requires the use of special tools to remove the lamp assembly and replace it with another. Such a procedure may be a difficult and lengthy task particularly for a non-technical or inexperienced operator of the system. Therefore, expedient replacement of a failed lamp is generally not realized for many applications.
One of these applications involves the use of a video-equipped endoscope by a physician to view the internal body organs or cavity of the patient. Failure of a lamp while the probe is inside a patient's body can lead to extended patient discomfort and even trauma. In addition, failure of the lamp at this time usually results in the examination being aborted and can, under certain conditions, make removal of the probe difficult. Another shortcoming with conventional lamp installations is that the lamp assembly is required to cool down before manual replacement is practical.
A further shortcoming of a conventional lamp installation is that the heat sinks of the lamp assembly are rigidly mounted to the lamp itself. Therefore, thermal expansion of the heat sinks during operation may expose the lamp to physical stresses, contributing to the lamp's failure.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a lamp installation that avoids the problems associated with a fixed mounted lamp assembly of the prior art.
It is a more particular object of the present invention to provide a lamp installation configured to achieve expedient replacement of the lamp assembly in a video-equipped endoscope or borescope.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a lamp installation for use in an endoscope or borescope which employs a flexible support for the lamp and avoids the imposition of physical stresses thereon when the lamp is placed under a thermal load.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a lamp assembly that may be removed from its system installation without having to first attach mounting fasteners and electrical leads.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a lamp assembly with a handle means for manually removing the lamp assembly before cool down.
These and other objects of the present invention are attained by an illumination apparatus that includes, a lamp assembly containing a light source and heat disposing means arranged to support the light source. The light source has first and second electrodes. The heat disposing means has first and second heat sink members, each being electrically conducting and electrically insulated from the other. The first and second heat sink members are electrically coupled to the first and the second electrodes, respectively, of the light source. At least one heat sink member is slidably mounted to the light source electrode it is coupled to. The illumination apparatus further includes a housing means that is dimensioned to allow the insertion of the lamp assembly therein. Disposed within and supported by the housing is a receptacle having first and second electrical conductors. At least one of the conductors is slidably mounted in the housing. The illumination device further includes a plug means connected to the heat sink members for detachably coupling the heat sink members to the conductors of the receptacle upon the insertion of the lamp assembly into the housing, thereby creating an electrical circuit that can be excited upon the application of a power supply to the electrical conductors of the receptacle.
One way of carrying out the invention is described in detail below with reference to drawings which illustrate one specific embodiment, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a video endoscopic system embodying the teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged top perspective view of the processor cabinet to the endoscopic system shown in FIG. 1, with the top cover of the processor cabinet being removed and the front wall being cut away to better illustrate details of the illumination apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 3a is an enlarged bottom plan view of the lamp assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 3b is an enlarged side elevation view of the lamp assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 3c is an enlarged top plan view of the lamp assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view through the lamp assembly taken substantially on line 4--4 of FIG. 3c;
FIG. 4a is an enlarged fragmentary view of a slidable mounting arrangement, of one heat sink, constructed according to the present invention;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the illumination apparatus of the present invention, illustrating details of the lamp assembly inserted in the housing, and;
FIG. 6 illustrates enlarged side elevation and bottom plan views of the keeper and latch mechanism shown in FIG. 3 mounted and engaged on the lamp assembly.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is shown a video endoscopic system 10 that is essentially comprised of a video monitor 12 having the usual screen 14, a video processor 16, a viewing probe 18, an interface module 20 that releasably connects the viewing probe to the processor. The viewing probe in an endoscopic system is the portion of the apparatus that enters the body cavity of the patient. At its distal end 22, viewing probe 18 contains a known type of solid state imaging device such as a virtual phase charge coupled imaging device (not shown). A detailed description of video endoscopic system 10 is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,532,918 to Wheeler and 4,539,586 to Danna et al., the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
An enlarged top perspective view of a processor cabinet 24 of video processor 16 is shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the top cover (not shown) of processor cabinet 24 has been removed and the front wall of cabinet 24 has been cut away to illustrate certain details of the preferred embodiment of an illumination apparatus 26. Illumination apparatus 26 comprises a lamp assembly 28 and a housing 30. Lamp assembly 28, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, has a first heat sink 32 and a second heat sink 34, which are positioned in a back-to-back arrangement such that a back wall 33 of heat sink 32 faces a back wall 35 of heat sink 34. Heat sinks 32,34 are supported together in a single assembly by a cover 36. In the preferred embodiment, cover 36 of lamp assembly 28 has an end edge 40 that extends beyond the side edges of heat sinks 32 and 34. Lamp assembly 28 further comprises a handle 42 mounted to cover 36. Heat sink 32 is substantially similar to heat sink 34, except for a lamp aperture 38 defined therethrough as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3b. A more detailed description of lamp assembly 28 will be described hereinbelow with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
In the preferred embodiment, housing 30 has at least a front wall 44 and a rear wall 46. Housing 30 is mounted to the bottom portion of cabinet 24. Housing 30 defines an insertion opening 48 configured and dimensioned to allow the insertion of lamp assembly 28 therein, as illustrated in FIG. 2. A rectangular-shaped notch 50 is contained in rear wall 46. Extended end edge 40 of lamp assembly 28 is configured and dimensioned to overlap opening 48 unless lamp assembly 28 is properly positioned such that extended end edge 40 is in alignment with rectangular-shape notch 50. Therefore, extended end edge 40 limits the insertion of lamp assembly 28 into opening 48.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, housing 30 may contain a side wall 52 containing a line-of-sight aperture 54. Line-of-sight aperture 54 is located in sidewall 52 such that optical alignment may be achieved with lamp aperture 38.
Housing 30 further comprises a pair of optical alignment ribs 56 and 58, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. Alignment rib 56 projects internally from the inside surface of front wall 44, as clearly shown in FIG. 5. Alignment rib 58 projects internally from the inside surface of rear wall 46, as clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. Alignment ribs 56 and 58 are positioned, configured and dimensioned to slidably engage back walls 33 and 35 of heat sinks 32 and 34, to ensure optical alignment of lamp aperture 38 and line-of-sight aperture 54 when lamp assembly 28 is inserted into housing 30.
Located at the core of illumination apparatus 26 is lamp or light source 60, as shown in FIG. 4. Lamp 60 contains at least two electrodes, a cathode 62 and an anode 64. In addition, lamp 60 contains a light emitting window 66, as shown in FIG. 4. Light source 60 may be a conventional flash lamp, sometimes referred to as an arc discharge lamp, comprising a Quartz envelope filled with an inert gas such as xenon. When the lamp is triggered, it produces a high intensity flash of white light.
Illumination apparatus 26 is optically coupled to viewing probe 18 through optical path 68, as shown in FIG. 2. Light emitted from light source 60, through light emitting window 66, lamp aperture 38, and line-of-sight aperture 54, passes outside housing 30, as shown in FIG. 2. Some video processors may employ a color filter wheel 70 for generating field sequential color images. Such a system is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,523,224 to Longacre, Jr. As shown in FIG. 2, color filter wheel 70 is positioned to filter the light emitted from lamp 60.
Optical path 68 is further defined by a light deflection element 72, such as a mirror. From light deflection element 72, the light path of the light emitted from lamp 60, is directed to interface module 20, and out through viewing probe 18.
As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, the preferred embodiment includes an electrical receptacle defined by a pair of electrical conductor rods 74 and 76. Electrical conductor rod 76 is fixedly mounted to the rear wall at one end and fixedly mounted to the front wall at the other end. Electrical conductor rod 74 is slidably mounted to rear wall 46 at one end and slidably mounted to front wall 44 at the other end, such that their relative positions are displaceable. A pair of elongated openings 78,78' are positioned, configured and dimensioned to receive the ends of conductor rod 74 and enable conductor rod 74 to be displaced along a line perpendicular to the axial dimension of conductor rod 74. One end of conductor rod 74 and one end of conductor rod 76 protrude through and out the rear wall 46 of housing 30, and function as a pair of power supply terminals 80,80', as shown, in part, in FIG. 5. Connected to power supply terminals 80,80' are power supply cables 82, as shown in FIG. 2. Cables 82 are routed directly to a power supply, not shown.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the preferred embodiment of lamp assembly 28 is shown in detail, in accordance with the present invention. An enlarged bottom plan view of lamp assembly 28 is shown in FIG. 3a. Heat sinks 32 and 34 are shown mounted to cover 36, having their respective back walls, 33,35 in opposing spaced relation to each other. Heat sinks 32 and 34 may each be constructed of a single extruded piece of aluminum.
Heat sinks 32 and 34 are thermally coupled to light source 60 and operate to dispose of heat energy generated by light source 60. Heat sinks 32 and 34 serve an additional function of operating as extensions to the electrodes of light source 60. Heat sinks 32 and 34 are electrically conducting and electrically coupled to cathode 62 and anode 64 respectively of light source 60.
Lamp assembly 28, in the preferred embodiment, further includes a pair of metallic resilient clips 86,86' mounted by fasteners to heat sink 32, and a pair of metallic resilient clips 88,88' mounted by fasteners to heat sink 34. Resilient clip pairs 86,86' and 88,88', are positioned, configured and dimensioned to resiliently embrace conductor rods 74 and 76 respectively, as partly shown in FIG. 5.
Cover 36 is constructed of an insulating material, such as a phenolic resin material. In addition to providing support for heat sinks 32,34, cover 36 acts as an electrical insulator between heat sink 32 and 34.
Also shown in FIG. 3a is a pair of shunting capacitors 84,84', each electrically connected to heat sink 32 at one terminal and electrically connected to heat sink 34 at the other terminal. The purpose of shunting capacitors 84,84' will be described in detail hereinbelow.
Referring to FIG. 3b, an enlarged side elevation view of lamp assembly 28, constructed in accordance with the present invention, is illustrated. As shown, heat sink 32 contains lamp aperture 38 therethrough to allow an unobstructed path for light emitted from lamp 60. Heat sink 32 contains a slit 90 running from its front wall 92 to its back wall 33 in one dimension, and from the perimeter of aperture 38 to its top edge, adjacent to cover 36, in the other dimension. The function of slit 90 is to provide incremental enlargement of aperture 38 to permit insertion of the front portion of lamp 60 therein, as shown in FIG. 4.
A keeper and latch 94 is mounted by fasteners directly to heat sink 32, as shown in FIGS. 3b, and 3c. Keeper and latch 94 is empIoyed to close slit 90, causing aperture 38 to constrict slightly. Accordingly, the front part of lamp 60 may be inserted through aperture 38 when keeper and latch 94 is open, as shown in FIG. 6, and be securely embraced by heat sink 32 when keeper and latch 94 is closed. Although heat sink 32 securely embraces the front part of lamp 60, including cathode 62, it is free to slide in the axial direction of lamp 60, over the front part of lamp 60. Notwithstanding the slidable engagement of heat sink 32 with the front part of lamp 60, electrical contact is maintained between heat sink 32 and cathode 62. A silicone compound coating may be applied around cathode 62 of lamp 60 to fill in air gaps between heat sink 32 and cathode 62 to improve the thermal conductivity between cathode 62 and heat sink 32. Heat sink 34 is fixedly mounted to a back end 67 of light source 60 by screws or other fasteners.
Referring to FIG. 4, a horizontal sectional view through lamp assembly 28 taken substantially on line 4--4, of FIG. 3c is shown. As illustrated in FIGS. 3c and 4, cover 36 is fixedly mounted to heat sink 34 by a pair of mounting screws 96,96', and loosely mounted to heat sink 32 by a pair of mounting screws 98,98'.
The loose mounting arrangement between heat sink 32 and cover 36 is achieved by boring a hole through cover 36 and inserting a bushing 100 therethrough, as illustrated in FIG. 4a. Bushing 100 may be dimensioned to closely fit within the bore. Mounting screw 98 is then inserted through bushing 100 and securely threaded into heat sink 32. The outside diameter of the shank of mounting screw 98 is smaller than the inside diameter of bushing 100; thus, heat sink 32 is permitted to float an incremental distance in a multiplicity of directions.
Mounting screw 98 is not fastened tightly against the surface of cover 36. The head of mounting screw 98, is suspended by a portion of bushing 100 protruding from the surface of cover 36. A space 102 is shown in FIG. 4a which is defined by the surface of cover 36 and the bottom face of the head of mounting screw 98. The same mounting arrangement is employed for mounting screw 98'.
Therefore, the combination of the slidable engagement of heat sink 32 with lamp 60, the loose mounting arrangement of cover 36 to heat sink 32, and the displaceable conductor rod 74 mounted in housing 30, provides lamp 60 with a support and electrical installation that is flexible and self-adjusting under a thermal load. Thus, damaging physical stresses imposed by thermal expansion and contraction of the heat sinks is minimized.
Referring to FIG. 5, an enlarged sectional view of the illumination apparatus of the present invention is illustrated showing details of Iamp assembly 28 inserted in housing 30. Handle 42 is mounted to cover 36 by fasteners 104,104'. In the preferred embodiment, handle 42 is constructed of material that is a poor thermal conductor, such as phenylene oxide material. Therefore, lamp assembly 28 can be manually removed from housing 30 without the delay usually encountered in waiting for the lamp assembly to cool down. Handle 42 provides the additional function of acting as a support to retain lamp assembly 28 in the position shown in FIG. 5. This additional function is accomplished when the cover (not shown) of processor cabinet 24 is installed. The inside surface of the cover of cabinet 24 contacts handle 42 at a pair of upward projecting edge members 106,106', as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, handle 42 is urged downward once the cover of cabinet 24 is installed, causing lamp assembly 28 to be retained in the position shown in FIG. 5.
A fan unit 108 is disposed within housing 30, and operates to exhaust air from housing 30 out a bottom opening 110. The exhausted air is passed through a vent contained in the bottom portion of cabinet 24 (not shown).
Housing 30 is constructed of a material, such as a phenolic resin material, that acts as an electrical insulator and a heat barrier. Housing 30 operates to electrically insulate the lamp assembly and electrical installation from other components located within processor cabinet 24. In addition, the heat generated by lamp assembly 28 is localized within the housing until exhausted by fan unit 108.
In addition to its physical support function, illumination apparatus 26 is configured to provde the electrical power supply circuit required to actuate lamp 60. The power supply circuit is defined between an electrical power supply (not shown) and lamp 60. The power supply circuit can be described as beginning with power supply cables 82 connected to a power supply at one end and connected to electrical conductors 74,76 at the other end, as partly shown in FIG. 2. Electrical conductors 74 and 76 are electrically coupled to heat sinks 32 and 34 respectively upon engagement of resilient clips 86,86'and 88,88' to electrical conductors 74 and 76 respectively. Heat sinks 32 and 34 are electrically conducting elements and insulated from each other by cover 36. Heat sink 32 is electrically coupled to cathode 62 of lamp 60. Heat sink 34 is electrically coupled to anode 62 of lamp 60. Therefore, an electrical circuit is created between a power supply (not shown) and lamp 60, configured to actuate lamp 60 upon application of the power supply to cables 82.
Shunting capacitors 84,84' connected across heat sink 32 and 34, as shown in FIG. 3a and described above, operate to short circuit or filter out unwanted electromagnetic oscillations generated in lamp 60. These oscillations can cause electromagnetic interference with other processor components. Therefore, the employment of capacitors 84,84', as described, substantially eliminates these problems.
While this invention has been explained with reference to the structure disclosed herein, it is not confined to the details set forth and this application is intended to cover any modifications and changes as may come within the scope of the following claims.

Nearly 7 years in the making, Matthew Barney: RIVER OF FUNDAMENT is Barney's largest filmic undertaking since his renowned five-part epic The Cremaster Cycle (1994 to 2002). The eponymous exhibition brings together 14 large-scale sculptures weighing up to 25 tons, drawings, photographs, and vitrines that were inspired by or made in conjunction with the film. MOCA's presentation of the exhibition will include new works made since the film's premiere, which exemplify Barney's continued exploration of its themes. These works serve as physical manifestations and remnants of the ideas and performances throughout the titular symphonic film collaboration with composer Jonathan Bepler.
Matthew Barney: RIVER OF FUNDAMENT opens at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA on September 13th.

Kahlil Joseph: "Most all histories in black cinema aren't really representations of us, I think most people who know black people on any level know that to be true. We've excelled as a community and as a people and as a culture in every other art form in a way that's just amazing."
"It's almost like Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s: the black community is where all the great ideas are, it's where the next generation of filmmakers are going to come from, it's what's going to save movies. Once we start making movies in the same way that we make music, it'll be undeniable. Once we're able to represent ourselves—not even represent ourselves but to express ourselves—in the way that we feel and we think, then I don't even know what to say."

Since it was late the maintentance team corrected the problem the next morning. The hotel was very close to shopping and only about 20 to 30 minutes from Washington, DC. My family and I would gladly choose this hotel again.

I've thought of one way to do this, but it seems kind of messy. So I thought I'd see if anyone has come up with anything better.
Is it possible to create multiple galleries that are attached to a single page, but keep the images in separate clusters when inserted on a page.
For example:
The way I have thought about doing it is just taking a random post or a new post and uploading the images for Gallery1 into it, and then again in a separate post for Gallery2, and just using the gallery shortcode on the page that I'd like them to show.
Any other ideas?

Visit our website http://ThePerfectionOfGiving.com
Hello, my name is Javier Perez-Karam (The producer and director for this documentary series), and I would like to invite you to take part on this experiment about generosity and human behavior! Be part of the change.
My LinkedIn Profile www.linkedin.com/in/perezkaram/
My Twitter feed http://twitter.com/PerezKaram
Last year, I had one of the most amazing experiences when doing volunteer work with the 108 Lives Project, learn more about it here. Our trip to Nepal, the work we did there and meeting the people we were helping out, changed the way I see the world. It made me interested in generosity as a driving force to improve the course of society and the life of individuals. The way more than 15 volunteers in the 108 Lives Project found giving and generosity as true source of happiness, became the story of our first chapter of The Perfection of Giving.
The Perfection of Giving is a Documentary Series about generosity and how it changes human behavior. Its intention is to add to the conversation about generosity and giving. We want to inspire more people to adopt and spread generosity as a lifestyle; not only through charitable giving, but actually understanding how and why a generous mindset forces us to live a happier and more abundant life. A life worth living. This is true across the board, regardless of faith, skin color, philosophical morals or country of origin. Human beings are happier when they are generous, not only with their money, but with time, efforts, kind words, and more importantly: their intent.
Become an active participant in the project. Make a money contribution or participate in one of the many activities we'll be promoting during this campaign.
I invite you to be part of the experiment and step in your generous mindset.
Do not miss any of the fun activities we have prepared by liking us on Facebook.com/ThePerfectionOfGiving
What will you get for your contribution?
Aside from the fun perks! (all of them designed to promote a generous mindset in one way or another), you will be a driving force for change, for a better world, and you will be inspiring people to be more generous everyday learning how to step into a generous mindset. And you will be helping to make the documentary series "The Perfection of Giving".
You will get to watch the 6 half-hour main Chapters exploring specific aspect of generosity and giving; and 40 short stories of about 3 to 7 minutes, highlighting the life, career and accomplishments of people who have experienced giving as a lifestyle and/or embraces it as a regular practice.
The 6 Chapters are:
- The discovery of Giving and Generosity as true source of happiness (To be screened and release the night this campaign closes on July 14th)
- Giving and Generosity as a Spiritual and Religious practice. (Secured if we reach our Goal)
- Giving and Generosity as a Business Model.
- Giving and Generosity as a Socio-political Model
- The Economics of Generosity.
- Giving and Generosity as a Lifestyle.
Depending on how much money we raise, we would like to produce a monthly podcast and a tablet application, to spread our ideas with the biggest audience we can reach.
What are we asking for?
As a documentary series about generosity, we thought it is only natural to fund it through the generosity of people, and we are counting on you to prove us right! :)
Our immediate goal is to raise $60K to complete Chapter 1 (editing, sound and online), and make Chapter 2 all the way untill it's finished (we are just in prep).
BUT WE THINK WE CAN RAISE MORE. So we are looking to raise a full total of $240K to make the whole project as we envision it.
Depending on how much we raise here is what we will be able to produce:
We would like your generous contribution so we can make this project happen. It depends on you guys!

About our Perks!
Our Greeting Card
Every person who contributes, from $1 to $1MM will have the chance to send a beautifull greeting card of The Perfection Of Giving, with a personal message! Imagine the face of that person who you love and respect getting something real, tangible, in the mail instead of an email! Maybe they will stick it on their fringe.
Our Generosity Jar
Because giving is not only about sendig money or doing some work pro-bono, it is also the actual intention behind the action; we have designed the Generosity Jar. It will remind you to keep a generous mind. It is easy to use: you put some little change in it in the morning, you do it back at night, and when it's full send the collected money to the next project you want to support, or your church, or an organization. The important thing here is that the Jar will remind you to keep a generous mindset!
#makeaday Cards
These business-card-size cards will spread happiness to whoever you hand them to. They don't say much: "just smile! #makeaday" And that is what it takes to make people smile. Hopefully they will keep that card going, and with your action you will not only make one person smile, but as many as the card reaches! Isn't that awesome?
108 Stories About Giving - the book
During the campaign, we are compiling a small book with stories of our readers and viewers, about how giving changed their life. Each person who claims the Motivated Giver perk, will get a special edition copy of this book! If you want your story published in the book, visit http://theperfectionofgiving.com/giving-changed-my-life/ (it will be online on SATURDAY June 1st) and fill up the form! You might be on your way to becoming a published author. :)
The Little Villager Photograph
When we were shooting in Nepal, we visited a little mountain village called Phulpin. They had never had westerners visiting the village before and they were very welcoming. This is the smile of one of the little girls in the village. She just brights up my day! And I wanted you to have the same feeling. This picture will only be printed during this campaign, there will be no more prints done after that, so this is a collection item in itself!
Limited Edition 11×14 Prints of the photograph "Little Villager", mounted on a 16×20 EcoCare Bamboo frame. Made by our director Javier Perez-Karam during production in Nepal in 2012. (US Shipping Only, sorry no international shipping right now)
Quilt for Kids
The 108 Lives Project has teamed up with the organization Quilt for Kids Nepal. They hire local women, teach them to make quilts from discarted fabrics, and the money they make from selling each quilt puts a kid through school for one year. They will get a pair of shoes, a back pack, 2 school uniforms and school supplies. If you choose the Life Changer perk we will send you one of this quilts, the premium one, that put one kid through 2 years of school in Nepal, kids that other wise would have never gone to school!
Javier volunteers!
We believe in giving back. If you choos the Associated Giver perk we will not only give you an associate producer credit but will also go and volunteer to the organization of your choice for two full days, sometime within the next six months. (the organization most be around the NYC area)

Oh look, it's Windows Phone — the soon to be released smartphone OS formerly known as Windows Mobile 6.5. The folks over at The Inquirer were given a demonstration of what was called the final build of the OS and they happened to have a video camera on hand to capture things like the Zune-ish UI, Marketplace for Windows Phone, the free My Phone sync service, Microsoft Tag and a whole bunch of other goodies that are sure to get the WinMo freaks out there fired up. One particularly interesting tidbit from the video: Microsoft will not now, nor ever refer to the OS as Windows Mobile 6.5, referring to it only as Windows Phone: "We don't even refer to the operating system because it's part of the whole long term strategy of releases coming out." Yeah, good luck with that.

One of the most popular rock groups of the 1970s, Pink Floyd achieved superstar status despite being routinely experimental and often downright bizarre. Indeed the group have proven an enormous influence on numerous contemporary bands - stand up Muse, Radiohead, Linkin Park and 100 others - and remain a wholly credible name to drop more than 30 years since Punk Rock was supposed to have killed off their kind of 'progressive nonsense'. This film traces the path Floyd took after the recording of the Animals album - an era when cracks in the band first started to show - and brings the strange story of the group and the intense relationship between Waters and Gilmour right up to date with the unexpected collaboration of these two maverick musicians at a 2010 charity event. Featuring numerous interviews with Waters, Gilmour, Wright & Mason, liberally interspersed with classic and rare performance footage, plus contributions from friends, colleagues and the finest rock journalists.

I really have no idea if PerlIDE has anything to do with
this... When the PerlIDE window is active and WinAmp
is playing in the background, frequently WinAmp will
begin to freeze momentarily every second or so.
It looks like WinAmp is hogging the processor, since
the WinAmp process, not PerlIDE, racks up CPU time
when this happens (according to the win2k task
Ordinarily I would blame WinAmp, but it ->only<-
happens when the PerlIDE window is active (not just
open, but active).
I hope this helps reveal a bug, because I'm going to feel
pretty dumb otherwise.

Is it possible debugger is trying to use network ports
used by other applications, like WinANP? It would be
desirable if the debugging ports should be user-

I can't replicate this problem. I always use winamp while running PerlIDE (I like music) and I never have this problem. I'm running winamp 2.91.
